With a POD of 1900, turn Somalia into a first world developed country by Western standards and a high HDI. Democracy not necessary.

Have the Italians Being Neutral on WWI (Avoiding the "Train on time" Guy rose to power),Having a Democratic/Liberal Party rose instead...and Try to avoid Fuckups during WW2....(Or Doesnt participate..)

We can see Somalians having a good time.

What about Somalialand? Wouldn't that be quite the same following WW2?
 
Well, this is cheating, but if Italy keeps Somalia and integrates it into the state (like France and French Guiana) then Somalia would have Italy's HDI.

But that doesn't mean it's actually developed.
 
You know, this is not too implausible. Somalia before the 1991 revolution which led to the war was a pretty decent place to live, and Mogadishu was a fine city. It was considered an African success story. Have the revolution never occur or quashed, manage the economy wisely and reach double-digit economic growth, maintain it, spend it wisely, and Somalia could have had a decent standard of living, well on it's way to first-world status today.

Of course, the war is dying down now. Somalia is now actually rebuilding it's cities, institutions, and economy, and we may see it reach first-world status in the future.
